Enos Thompson Throop Martin, who died in his 75th year, was the son of Thaddeus Martin and the former Mehetable Throop, a sister of Enos Thompson Throop, Governor of New York from 1829-1833 and later U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. After the death of his father, Mr. Martin developed a close bond with his namesake uncle, a widower with no surviving children of his own. He became a successful attorney and journalist, and in 1837 married mercantile heiress Cornelia Williams of Utica, NY. After residing in New York City and Utica, the couple and their growing family settled on the spacious Throop-Martin estate, "Willowbrook" on Lake Owasco near Auburn. Famous for their hospitality, there the Martins and the former Governor entertained many prominent figures of the 19th Century, including Presidents, diplomats, generals, and celebrities such as Jennie Lind. With the exception of their daughter Harriet Byron Martin (1841-1845), ten of the couple's eleven children survived to adulthood. Several became well-known, most notably the writer Edward Sanford Martin (1856-1939). In addition to little Harriet, Mr. Martin was predeceased by daughter Emily Martin Upton, his mother, and Governor Throop. His survivors included his wife, Cornelia, their sons "Throop", John, George, and Edward, their daughters Mary, Cornelia, Evy Martin Alexander, Eliza Martin Tremain, and Violet Martin Wilder, and his sister Evelina Martin Rochester.
